New co-chair named to TBD Working Group subcommittee
Paula Jackson Jones, President of Midcoast Lyme Disease Support and Education, has been named a subcommittee co-chair for the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group.
Jones, who co-founded the Maine-based patient advocacy group in 2014, will serve as co-chair of the “Access to Care Services and Support to Patients” subcommittee.
She fills a slot left vacant after Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner resigned from the subcommittee on March 6.
The next meeting of the full Tick-Borne Disease Working Group will be May 10. This will be a virtual meeting that is held via webcast. Members of the public may attend the meeting via webcast.
Good luck Paula, I hope you make headway. Glad to supply references if requested. My personal goal is to see a tax-payer paid human pathology study to detect persistent Borrelia in the human brain especially post antibiotics. The MN Health department (Mike Osterholm) told me such a study was unnecessary because the blood tests were so accurate. I guess reaching a conclusion before the study saves time and money!
